more numerous specimens, and in a more perfect state, should be 
discovered. J was not then aware that it was the same as a 
plant which occurs in several places on the coast of Normandy, 
and of which specimens have been since published in Desma- 
ziere’s Cryptogames of France. More lately, Mrs. Griffiths has 
allowed me to take a figure from specimens preserved in her 
Herbarium, found by Miss Amelia Griffiths at Ilfracombe; in 
which situation it appears to be of great rarity. 
At the time the figure was made, I was not aware that a spe- 
cimen found by Mr. Me’Calla in 1840 existed in Dr. Coulter’s 
Herbarium, among the numerous examples of C. Kaliformis, 
which I the more regret as an earlier knowledge of it would have 
enabled me to introduce the capsular fruit into my plate. It is 
abundantly covered with capsules, which have not been found on 
any of the Ilfracombe specimens. 
As a species, it 1s, perhaps, more nearly alhed to C. Kaliformis 
than to C. parvula, although at first sight it looks more like the 
latter. Its slender, main branches, and the remarkable disk-like 
processes by which they attach themselves at intervals, taken with 
the small size, irregular branching, and less gelatinous nature, 
offer its best distmguishing marks. The different form of the 
capsules affords alone a sufficient character to separate it from 
C. parvula.
